After his\u00a0cancer\u00a0radiation sessions, Nirmal Bhartiya started experiencing severe back pain in 2014-15. That is when, after many visits to several doctors, someone referred him to a chiropractor based in Delhi\u2019s Nizamuddin East. \u201cWithin two weeks, my back pain was almost gone,\u201d said Bhartiya, 65, a businessman. The first session lasted about 10-15 minutes, and he could feel the difference. He has now taken it upon himself to refer patients with chronic issues that need spinal adjustments to Dr Shiv Bajaj.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cNinety per cent of orthopaedic condition should be treated conservatively; rarely you need surgeries. Surgeries should only be restricted to tumours, fractures and the like. It should not happen on the basis of back and neck pain,\u201d said Dr Bajaj. While surgery has become commonplace in today\u2019s medical field, chiropractic treatment administered at the right time by a licensed and trained chiropractic professional can prevent medications and surgical interventions, and is the \u201cmissing link\u201d between\u00a0physiotherapy\u00a0and orthopaedics in India, Dr Bajaj, who has been practising for 11 years, said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Rita Gupta, a 66-year-old housewife, who had severe sciatica pain \u2014 with her left leg experiencing numbness \u2014 agreed. \u201cI was not able to stand properly. Surgeons suggested spine operation but I didn\u2019t want that, so I took chiropractic treatment. While I was given a treatment window of six months, I was able to walk after two months, which was no less than a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
While chiropractic offers gentle, effective, and time-saving approaches to treat spinal and nerve issues, there is a lack of awareness in India coupled with lack of trained, qualified chiropractors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","post_format-post-format-video"],"yoast_head":"\n
